Meant to tour the Parliament Buildings but spent the whole day at the Museum of Civilization. Here we are 10,000 miles on, and the very first display we see is about the Musqueum reserve, two blocks from where I grew up! I thought "I came all that way to see THIS??" But we never even made it to the third floor, the place is so full of interesting stuff. They even had our kitchen radio...boy, do I feel old now.

Just read your whole blog in one sitting, your writing is pleasantly engaging. Quite the trip you're on Brian, I'm jealous. Hopefully I don't have to wait until I'm your age to do a similar trip myself.
